- Nutritionally supports intestinal health.*
- Helps cleanse the digestive system.*
- Provides you with "friendly" bacteria you need to support a favorable environment for the absorption of nutrients.*
"Probiotics" are microorganisms that are essential for the proper functioning of the digestive tract.* Commonly referred to as the "friendly," "beneficial," or "good" bacteria, probiotics are known for their ability to support a favorable environment for nutrient absorption, encourage intestinal balance and promote the health of the intestines.*
When microorganism levels are depleted or imbalanced, they have an effect on digestive health, as well as on other systems directly linked to the digestive tract, including the immune, gastrointestinal and urinary systems. Supplementing with probiotic bacteria helps to keep bacteria levels balanced.* Although foods such as yogurt offer probiotic bacteria, they do not deliver high enough concentration amounts per serving to achieve health benefits. Probiotic supplements deliver high concentration levels to effectively keep the bacteria levels balanced, the digestive tract regulated, and other body systems healthy.*
Most digestion takes place in the intestines, so it's important to maintain intestinal health - taking a probiotic supplement is a great way to do this.* Probiotic bacteria is well-established for its beneficial effects on intestinal well-being.* A popular type of probiotic is an Acidophilus supplement, which is a natural form of probiotic bacteria that nutritionally supports your digestive system.* In addition to maintaining a healthy balance of intestinal flora, Acidophilus supplements help maintain a healthy intestinal tract by making its contents slightly more acidic.* Acidophilus can be important for adults who are taking antibiotics like penicillin, because penicillin may decrease healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract.*^
Probiotics have been recognized for their beneficial effects on human health since Metchnikoff described their usage while working at the Pasteur Institute in the early 1900s. Researchers are uncovering more information every day about the positive role probiotic microbes play in keeping people healthy.
